Newly-Wed Donkeys

Newly-wed donkeys stand with farmers after a marriage ceremony in Mumbai June 5, 2013. Dozens of farmers from the drought-hit district of Solapur attended this marriage ceremony in protest against what they say was lack of assistance from the state government during the drought. According to a local Hindu belief, the marriage of donkeys speeds up the arrival of monsoon rains. REUTERS/Danish Siddiqui (INDIA - Tags: SOCIETY ANIMALS)
